Hello PCEF Committee Members,

As we&#8217;ve shared, we will be discussing proposals for the additional PCEF funds anticipated from the City Economist&#8217;s forecast in our upcoming public meetings. Given the volume of content to consider in Commissioner Rubio&#8217;s proposal<https://www.portland.gov/rubio/news/2023/12/13/rubio-proposes-additional-climate-investments-clean-energy-funds>, we need to schedule additional meetings to give you all adequate time for discussion and recommendation. As part of this, we  want to shift the meeting currently scheduled for January 18th.

We are looking to schedule for 4 public meetings (includes rescheduling Thurs. Jan. 18th). Please fill out this Doodle poll<https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/enGZBXpa> by end of day today (Monday, Jan. 8), if possible, with your availability for the potential dates listed below and we will select the best options. We recognize that this is a LOT of your time on short notice and appreciate you bearing with us! Thank you!!!

We expect we&#8217;ll need up to 2.5 hours for some or all meetings, so the Doodle<https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/enGZBXpa> lists 6-8:30pm for all. We may need to bump up some to 3 hours or be able to back down to 2 hours as we map out the agenda for each meeting.

Unfortunately, given the timing of the scheduling and Open Signal&#8217;s more limited availability to host hybrid meetings in January/February, we will tease out which meetings are Zoom-only vs. hybrid once we see your availability. To the extent there&#8217;s a decision to be made there, we will work with Megan and Ranfis.

Lastly, we anticipate the first two meetings focusing on the first allocation of projects proposed by Commissioner Rubio, followed by the second allocation of projects<https://www.portland.gov/rubio/news/2023/12/13/rubio-proposes-additional-climate-investments-clean-energy-funds> being discussed in the last two meetings.

   Meeting 1 options:

               ********         Wednesday, Jan. 24

               ********         Thursday, Jan. 25

   Meeting 2 options:

               ********         Wednesday, Jan. 31

               ********         Wednesday, Feb. 7

   Meeting 3:

               ********         Thursday, Feb. 15 (small group meetings are currently on the calendar for this date)

   Meeting 4 options:

               ********         Wednesday, Feb. 21

               ********         Wednesday, Feb. 28

               ********         Thursday, Feb. 29

Thanks so much, and let me know if you have any questions!

Rachel
